Hi, I was quite interested to see this in the changelog of the latest Quake3 point release:
- SMP support in the renderer. Detects CPU count, r_smp 1 default if available. (thanks to Gareth Hughes for contributing this) Starting up with +set r_smp 0 is still ok. However, when I start up trying to use r_smp 1 quake3 exits (not very cleanly, but ok) it tells me: mga_get_buffer_ioctl: flush ret=-22 bang. dead. It doesn't lock my computer, but mouse input etc doesn't work till I restart X. hardware is: - 2x P3-800 on a BX chipset (not overclocked or anything - running 100mhz FSB) - a matrox G550 software is: - Debian with Xfree 4.2.1 (I tried both the matrox distributed drivers and the Xfree ones.) - Linux 2.4.19 SMP One final note: since it is the default behaviour of quake3 to start with r_smp 1 when >1 cpu's are detected, I'd expect it to break for everyone using SMP and matrox. (maybe it even only works on nvidia?)
